I think it's perfectly in keeping with other parts of policy to ship our webservers with /srv/www as the default webroot, and leave it up to the administrator to symlink web applications into that root to enable them (or change the web root, or use aliases, etc). In particular, Policy 11.5.4 says that web applications should avoid storing files in the web document root if possible. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
